Elisabeth to Pop Out Rosie's Replacement?

Elisabeth Hasselbeck told the world today that she's three months pregnant -- which would bring her little baby Republican into the world just nearly in time to fill Rosie O'Donnell's Birkenstocks.

It was all smiles and confetti between E and her elders on "The View" this morning, when Hasselbeck proclaimed the happy news about her second baby, though Barbara Walters admitted that she nearly plotzed when Elisabeth told her she had something to say, following on the heels of Rosie's exit announcement last week.

This does raise the question of what happens in November, during all-important sweeps period, when the baby is due, because O'Donnell will be gone -- and Hasselbeck's baby will put her out for at least a few weeks. Could there be a Star on "The View's" horizon?

8. Congrats to EH and her hubby. It will be very interesting how things are going to shake out at The View in the next couple of months. I think that TPTB @ ABC and BW better get cracking finding a replacement for Rosie sometime before EH goes out on maternity leave. BW and Joy Behar can't carry the show alone.

9. I think the View should bring in a regular everyday person who has seen what regular everyday people struggle through. I think it would be nice to have someone who isn't rich and famous come in and share thier opinions and insights on current issues. Who knows maybe they could bring on someone who has raised five kids, has kept up with the current trends, politics, and the latest Hollywood gossip, someone like ME for example! I have an opinion on EVERYTHING! LOL The VIEW couldn't handle me. I'm too spunky..

10. If anyone has been watching the View you could till that she was pregnant. When she leaves they will find a replacement and we will not see her again on the View.
